Definite and indefinite articles
Articles are either definite or indefinite. The indefinite article "a" or "an" is used when the speaker does not specify the noun, such as "I met a friend." The indefinite article "a" is used before consonant sounds, while "an" is used before vowel sounds. The definite article "the" refers to a specific noun known to both the speaker and listener, like "The president is giving a speech." When referring to a noun for the first time, an indefinite article is used, and then the definite article for subsequent references, such as "I live in a house. The house is quite old."

It also covers demonstrative determiners like "this", "that", "these", and "those"; possessive determiners such as "my", "your", "his", etc.; and quantifiers that express quantity like "some", "any", "few", "a few", "little", "a little", and others. Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses of each type of determiner.
Definited and indefinited presentation
The document summarizes the use of definite and indefinite articles in English. It explains that "a" and "an" are indefinite articles used when referring to things in general or when introducing new information. "A" is used before consonant sounds, while "an" is used before vowel sounds. The definite article "the" is used to refer to specific or already mentioned things. It also provides examples of the different uses of indefinite and definite articles and notes that "the" can be used with both singular and plural nouns.
3.1 articles and determiners (1)
- There are three articles in English: indefinite articles 'a' and 'an', and definite article 'the'. Their proper use can be complex.
- Indefinite articles introduce new people or things, while the definite article is used when the listener knows what is being referred.
- Determiners like demonstratives, possessives, and quantity words are used before nouns to indicate specific or general references. Words like 'either' and 'neither' are used in choices between two items.
Verbals (infinitives, participles, gerunds)
The document discusses verbals, which are verb forms that function as other parts of speech. There are three types of verbals: infinitives, participles, and gerunds. Infinitives can act as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Participles are verb forms used as adjectives that end in "-ing" or "-ed/-en". Gerunds look like participles but act as nouns, ending in "-ing" and functioning as subjects, objects or objects of prepositions. Examples are provided of identifying and distinguishing between these verbal forms.

Tdc 1 phrasal verbs
Phrasal verbs are verb phrases consisting of a verb and a particle (preposition or adverb). They are difficult for English language learners for several reasons: 1) changing the particle changes the meaning completely, 2) they are often polysemous with multiple related meanings, 3) it is difficult to know whether they can be separated or not. There are three types - separable, non-separable, and intransitive. Common mistakes ELLs make include avoiding phrasal verbs, confusing meanings, forgetting or incorrectly separating parts of separable phrasal verbs. Understanding phrasal verbs requires learning them as single semantic units.

This document discusses the transitivity of verbs in English sentences. It defines 5 types of verbs: intransitive verbs which indicate a complete action without a direct object, transitive verbs which are accompanied by a direct object, linking verbs which link the subject to a complement, di-transitive verbs which have both a direct and indirect object, and complex-transitive verbs which have a direct object and object complement. Examples of each type are provided and the subject and predicate are identified in sample sentences. Edge cases with certain verbs are also addressed.
TDC 1 - Transitivity of Verbs

TDC1 Adjective Clauses and Reductions
This document discusses adjective clauses and their reduction to adjective phrases. It provides examples of adjective clauses with different pronoun types (who, which, that, whose, where, when) and shows how to join sentences using an adjective clause. It explains when relative pronouns can be omitted and how to reduce adjective clauses to phrases by removing the relative pronoun and verb. Key conclusions are that only subject pronoun clauses can reduce to phrases and how to handle be verbs and punctuation in reductions.

Leonardo and bárbara
- 1. ARTICLES Bárbara Garcia and Leonardo Sampaio
- 2. PROBLEMS OUR ELLS HAVE Due to Portuguese interference, Brazilian ELLs tend to overuse articles at times: “The love is beautiful” “It wasn’t me teacher. It was the Peter.” At times they fail to use or misuse them: “I am lawyer.” “He always travels to United States.” “We have to wear an uniform to school.” And not so rarely they use ‘one’ instead of a or an: “I got two kids. One boy and one girl.”
- 3. WORKING WITH INDEFINITE ARTICLES: A AND AN These articles should be used before unspecific singular count nouns or the ones that are being mentioned for the first time in the conversation. Rule Example • Use a before singular count nouns or adjectives that begin with a consonant sound. • a tree; a big tree • Use an before singular count nouns or adjectives that begin with a vowel sound. • an idea; an amazingidea • Words that begin with an hor a uare tricky. However, as before the sound will determine which article to use. •a house (consonant sound); an hour (silent h, vowel sound) •a uniform (the sound of the consonant /y/); an umbrella (vowel sound). What our ELLs should keep in mind. • I “have I have two two kids. kids. A boy One and boy a and one girl.” girl. • “I’m lawyer.” I’m a lawyer. • I “I have have to to wear wear a uniform an uniform to to school.” school.
- 4. WORKING WITH THE DEFINITE ARTICLE: THE Rule Example • Use the when it is something specific. •Thecar won’t start. • Usethe when both participants are talking about the same specific item. • Remember to lock the front door. • Use the when something is being mentioned for the second time in the conversation. • I have two kids. A boy and a girl. The boy is 11 and the girl is 9. • Use the with the superlative. • Stephen is the smartest kid in school. Rule Example • Use the with country names that sound plural or have united, republic, or kingdom. •TheUnited States •The United Kingdom •The Philippines •The Republic of Sudan • Usethe for parts of something. (In general the is not used for body parts) • What an amazing apartment. The living room is beautiful and the dining room is stunning. Can’t wait to see the bedrooms. • Use thebodies of waters; except individual lakes. •TheNile river • The Atlantic Ocean •The Caspian Sea •The Great Lakes (but Lake Michigan) • Use the with geographic areas and parts of the globe. •The Sahara Desert •The Middle East • The equator • The North What our ELLs should keep in mind: • “He always travels to USA.” • “That watch is most expensive in the store.” • “I would like to go to Galapagos Islands.” He always travels to the United States. That watch is the most expensive in the store. I would like to go to the Galapagos Islands.
- 5. WORKING WITH NO ARTICLE: (0) Rule Example • No article is used when talking about a group or category. •(0) Dogs are very friendly. •(0) Buses produce a lot of pollution. • No article is used before abstract nouns. •(0) Patience is a virtue. •(0)Love is more important than (0) money. What our ELLs should know: • “The love is beautiful.” • “It wasn’t me teacher. It was the Peter.” Love is beautiful. It wasn’t me teacher. It was Peter.
